In June 1967, during the Six-Day War, the USS Liberty, a lightly armed American spy ship, was attacked by Israeli jets and torpedo boats in international waters off the Egyptian coast. The attack involved napalm, rockets, cannon fire, and torpedoes. The ship was flying the American flag and had clear markings. Of the crew of nearly 300, 34 were killed and 172 injured. Real-time audio recorded by the Israeli military allegedly proves they knew they were attacking an American ship. Despite the Liberty's attempts to signal for help, its messages were initially jammed. The Sixth Fleet picked up the distress signal, but claims suggest American jets were recalled under presidential orders. Allegedly, there was a plan to sink the ship and kill all the crew, but a Russian ship witnessed the events, causing the operation to be aborted. The speaker does not blame Israel, claiming they were taking orders from globalists.

I pay my respects to USS Liberty survivors and those who believe Israel was behind the attack. While I don't defend Lyndon B. Johnson, suggesting he manipulated Israel for personal gain is insulting. Israeli pilots questioned the attack on the American ship. Israel's involvement in events like the Lavon Affair, USS Liberty, and 9/11 is concerning. It was a joint operation with US and Israeli agents. Israel continues to use false flag operations, sacrificing American lives for their wars. Blaming Johnson for manipulating Israel is disgusting and borderline treasonous. No serious historian would support this claim.

In the dialogue, Speaker 0 asserts that proxies trained and inculcated in the Zionist regime have implicated themselves in killings, asking how many people believe the incident with the USS Liberty ended. He recounts an incident where someone was proven arrested by American Marines in Iraq, describing the individuals as Jews who sniped and shot at Marines. He notes that these people were arrested after Marines chased them down, and claims that Zapata Engineering, described as a contractor for the company, helped to whitewash the case and secure their release. He emphasizes that these women and gentlemen are “the Jews who live in Israel and who are paid by American Jewry and who are Americans and Europeans in descent,” and he states that they are “actually killing American soldiers,” which he describes as unbelievable. He then asks Wolfgang what he has seen on the situation. Speaker 1, Wolfgang, responds by saying he has talked to many Iraqi veterans at a particular location, describing the place as an immense complex with many men he speaks to daily about different events in the Middle East. He claims that what they told him specifically is that most of the snipers were not even Iraqis, but actually IDF, meaning Israeli Defense Force. Speaker 0 reacts to Wolfgang’s statement, calling it an incredible claim coming from a colonel in the US Military, highlighting that the majority of the precise sniping used to kill and wound in sensitive places—where armor is known and targeted, with the sophistication to place a bullet into these people—comes from Israel. He repeats the assertion of Israel in emphasizing the credibility of the claim as unbelievable. Speaker 1 concludes by indicating that there is more to discuss on this topic and promises to elaborate later, saying, “And that's not all. We'll talk about that tonight.”

Israel purposefully attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 Americans in 1967. Despite clear identification as American, Israel fired rockets, jammed signals, and torpedoed the ship. The US did little in response, covering up the incident to protect Israel's image. Johnson faced pressure but ultimately increased aid to Israel and signed a secret intelligence treaty. The attack was labeled a mistake, and Israel faced no consequences.

The speaker claims that the USS Liberty incident is not the end of the story. He states that American Marines in Iraq arrested Jews who were sniping and shooting at them. According to the speaker, these individuals were employees of Zapata Engineering. Despite being apprehended by Marines after allegedly shooting at them, they were released due to Zapata Engineering's intervention. The speaker alleges these individuals are Jews living in Israel, funded by American Jewry, and of American and European descent. A colonel claims that most snipers in Iraq were not Iraqi, but IDF (Israeli Defense Force). The speaker highlights the precision sniping, targeting vulnerabilities in armored soldiers, and attributes this to Israeli forces.

On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked an American Navy ship, resulting in the deaths of 34 sailors and marines and injuries to 174 others. The crew felt safe, believing Israel was a strong ally. However, during the attack, they were caught off guard as their defenses were taken out. The assault lasted about 25 minutes, and despite being clearly identified as an American ship, the attack was dismissed as an accident. There are claims that the U.S. government may have orchestrated this to provoke a war, with suggestions that leaders conspired to use the incident to justify military action. The situation was precarious, with the potential for escalating into World War III.

A friend of the speaker, now deceased, conveyed a sequence of decisions and reactions related to military aircraft and orders. The friend said that after the aircraft were sent off, they were recalled by Washington from McNamara. Even before they hit Horizon, they were called back. After reconfiguring, another volley was sent up. Then Johnson got on the phone and said, you better, turn those g d planes around. The speaker quotes the claim that, “I don’t care if, every sailor on that ship gets hurt or whatever killed, but they left us out left us out there to die.” The speaker asserts that “that’s what our government wanted. That’s what Israel wanted.”

Flying the Star of David. "We thought they were coming there to help us. No. They were coming there to kill the rest of us and sink our ship." They fired five torpedoes at us, four missed by the grace of God. "One did hit, a little bit." Forward midships, 25 American sailors, marines, National Security Agency, CIA personnel were blown to bits in the blink of an eye. The torpedo lifted our ship out of the water, slammed it down, and stopped on the starboard side. We had "three life rafts left for a crew of 294 souls." They shot them all up; "When we put the life rafts over, they shot two out of the water and took one aboard their boat as a trophy of their kill. The Israelis did." They circled the ship, machine gunning anything that moved. They sent troop-carrying helicopters to finish this off, then left. "They couldn't sink us like they planned with the blessings of, our government, LBJ, from his government onto the Biden government, and all congresses in between have never lifted a finger to, to get an investigation." We've been hollering for fifty six years because they're afraid of fending their ally.

I pay my respects to the survivors of the USS Liberty and those who believe that Israel was responsible for the attack. However, suggesting that Lyndon Baines Johnson manipulated Israel into attacking the ship for personal gain is insulting and contrary to the facts. Israeli pilots themselves questioned the order to attack the American ship, as seen in public radio transcripts. It is wrong to accuse Johnson of manipulation. Moving on, there have been instances of Israeli involvement in events like the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty incident, and 9/11. These incidents show a pattern of false flag operations where American lives are sacrificed for Israel's benefit. Accusing Johnson of manipulation is disrespectful and unfounded.

06/08/1967, the height of the six day war. The USS Liberty, an American spy ship, was attacked by Israeli jets and torpedo boats off Egypt; badly damaged, two thirds of its crew were dead or wounded. The Israeli government and The US naval attache dropped a brown paper sack on the deck in the fore part of the ship, weighted down with an orange, had a business card in it. It landed right next to the severed leg of one of the deck personnel. And the note said, do you have cashless? The attack instantly triggered a domestic political crisis; one solution suggested in American government circles was to sink the Liberty so journalists could not photograph it and inflame public opinion against the Israelis. The NSA rejected this idea with an impolite comment. The planes that they said they were sending to us never arrived. The next day, American ships arrived to take the injured and the dead off the Liberty. Back in Washington, the government ensured there was little information for the press while politics went on behind closed doors.

On June 8, 1967, Israel allegedly attacked the USS Liberty, an unarmed American naval ship in international waters. Israeli pilots identified the ship as American before the coordinated air and sea attack. Israeli pilots fired from above, and missile boats fired torpedoes from below. 34 American sailors were killed, and 174 were injured. One survivor claims the American government tried to cover up the event. The USS Liberty was allegedly a spy ship listening in on Israel's war plans, which Israel didn't like. According to the survivor, Mirage jets strafed the ship and dropped napalm, and Israeli torpedo boats fired five torpedoes, one of which hit. The torpedo hit in the communication spaces. The survivor believes the attack was intentional because the ship intercepted classified Israeli messages. He believes the Israeli government planned the attack, and the American government knows it.

A survivor from the USS Liberty recounts the 1967 attack by Israel in waters off the Sinai Peninsula. Thirty four of my crewmen were killed and a hundred and seventy one wounded. He says Mirage jets strafed the ship, napalm was dropped, and four Israeli torpedo boats circling the vessel fired five torpedoes total, with one hit. The ship sustained a hole in the side, about 50 feet by 30 feet. He notes that all men in the gun mounts were killed and a torpedo hit the communications spaces, leaving many wounded, supposedly by an accident. He says he intercepted messages that Israel had sent, some highly classified at the time, and that these were forwarded to the government. He asserts, "And I know the Israelis, this is my opinion, planned the attack on us, and they know it too. And I believe our government knows it too."

Some individuals expressed being "sick and tired" of Jews pushing for war against Muslim countries, claiming they have too much power and are willing to spend American blood and treasure to get their way. One person stated that Americans should be able to discuss US policy toward Israel, and whether they want to be involved in fighting Israel's wars. They added that Israel is of no particular strategic worth to the US, has no resources the US needs, and their association is a negative for the US. The bombing of the USS Liberty, which killed 34 and injured over 170 American crewmen, was also discussed. Some believe the attack was intentional, not an accident, and that Israel covered it up. One person claimed the Israelis massacred Egyptian prisoners of war because they wanted to move troops to the Syrian border and couldn't handle the prisoners. It's perceived that the USS Liberty was attacked because the Israelis thought the ship was intercepting information about the massacre. Jets launched from the USS Saratoga to aid the Liberty were recalled by McNamara and President Johnson, allegedly because Israel has too much money and controlling interests in the US government.

Multiple studies conducted by various US government agencies, including the Navy, Joint Chiefs of Staff, CIA, House, Senate, and NSA, have focused on the USS Liberty incident. Historian Richard Brownell states that these reports do not assign blame but highlight communication failures. However, the Liberty Veterans Association claims that the incident was not properly investigated. Secretary of State Dean Rusk expressed dissatisfaction with the Israeli explanation, and there is evidence suggesting that the attack was deliberate. The American Legion passed a resolution acknowledging that Israel knew the ship's identity, and the CIA director, the NSA director, and a congressional captain all support the notion that the attack was intentional. Despite this, the speaker questions why the incident, which occurred 52 years ago, remains a topic of obsession.

Speaker asserts the USS Liberty was clearly targeted on purpose by a country we're supporting, Israel, and questions why it's shameful to say that. They reference a "twelve day war" with Iran, framing it as the US and Israel versus Iran, with bombing on all sides. They claim IDF officers in the Pentagon—among other foreign officers—barge into meetings, give orders, and demand action during that week, and that "nobody did anything about it." The speaker warns that permitting this "deeply unhealthy behavior" invites "predators in a foreign country" to take advantage of us, noting "it's not anti Israel at all." They demand leaders at the Pentagon and across the US government "stand up and defend us against all potential threats" and not prostrate themselves before a foreign nation, asking why have a government if it's taking orders from another weaker government, "And they're not even pretending."

"On the USS Liberty that everyone's so afraid to talk about, clearly targeted on purpose by a country we're supporting, Israel." "And it's somehow shameful to say that." "During the twelve day war, such as it was with Iran, The US and Israel versus Iran, bombing on all sides." "But there are a bunch of Israeli defense force officers in the Pentagon that week." "And during that week, ask anyone who works at the Pentagon, they enraged American Pentagon staff by just barging into meetings, giving orders, making demands, and nobody did anything about it." "The more you allow that kind of deeply unhealthy behavior, the more you're going to get." "Because of the weakness of our leaders, we have incited predators in a foreign country to take advantage of us." "Oh, that's such an anti Israel thing." "It's not anti Israel at all." "And they're not even pretending."

In this exchange, Speaker 0 raises the issue of the USS Liberty attack in 1967, arguing that if truth matters, the Israeli government must be held accountable because the American flag was flying on that ship. Speaker 0 presses why, in a discussion of modern Israeli–American relations, Speaker 1 would deem the attack “irrelevant” to current ties. Speaker 1 responds that when assessing today’s relations, citing the 1967 attack as a basis for judgment is irrelevant—comparable to using evidence from World War II or 1776 to define present-day relations with Britain or Germany. He emphasizes that while the attack was horrible and tragic for those involved, and that Israel paid reparations, the actual naval record indicates the incident was a mistaken and tragic event. He notes that those who reference the USS Liberty often do so to suggest Israel deliberately harmed America, and asks if that is Speaker 0’s broader point. Speaker 0 reiterates that truth requires accountability from the Israeli government, given the American flag on the ship. Speaker 1 points to the naval investigations, stating that multiple investigations exist and that the Israeli military at the time was flying Mirage planes and the USS Liberty was operating off-grid. He explains that the Israeli forces mistook the ship for an Egyptian vessel and believed it was shelling Al-Arish, which was not true. He describes the sequence: the American flag was knocked down in the initial attack, the engagement lasted about ninety minutes, and once it became clear the vessel was American, the attack was halted and a ship was dispatched to assist the Liberty. He also notes there have been other unfortunate friendly-fire incidents in war, such as during the Gulf War when US forces killed British troops. Speaker 0 asks about the broader agenda behind raising the incident, suggesting that it is not limited to that specific event. Speaker 1 acknowledges the question but questions the motive and implies that it is not an appropriate basis for evaluating current U.S.–Israel relations. Speaker 0 asserts that there are ongoing problems in the relationship, but again emphasizes the six-decade-old incident as relevant to the discussion. Speaker 1 maintains that, in the same way that many histories exist, there are many countries and contexts, and reiterates that the question is not answered satisfactorily. The exchange ends with Speaker 1 indicating this will be the last question.

In 1967, the USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli forces in international waters. Despite clear American markings, the ship was targeted by unmarked jets and torpedo boats bearing the Star of David, resulting in numerous casualties. SOS messages were sent, but recalled by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and President Lyndon B. Johnson, allegedly to avoid embarrassing Israel. Survivors claim the attack was premeditated, designed to sink the ship and blame it on Arab states. After the attack, survivors were ordered to remain silent under threat of imprisonment or death. They were smeared as anti-Semitic for speaking out about the incident. The speaker, a USS Liberty veteran, calls on President Trump to investigate the attack and accuses Congress of being beholden to the Zionist state. He also challenges Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro to debate the issue. He believes the attack was an act of war and a war crime, and that the US is an occupied nation, prioritizing Israel over American interests. He urges support for usslibertyveterans.org.

Some callers expressed concerns about Jewish influence pushing the US into wars against Muslim countries, suggesting Israel holds undue power. One caller stated Americans should be able to discuss US policy toward Israel, and whether they want to fight Israel's wars. He added that Israel is strategically worthless to the US and their association is a negative. Callers discussed the USS Liberty incident, where an American intelligence ship was attacked by Israeli forces in 1967, resulting in 34 deaths and 170 injuries. Survivors claim Israel was aware they were attacking an American ship, disputing claims of mistaken identity. Some believe the attack was intentional, possibly to conceal the massacre of Egyptian prisoners of war. It's claimed that US aircraft launched to aid the Liberty were recalled by McNamara and President Johnson, allegedly due to Israel's controlling influence in the US government.

The transcript discusses Operation Northwoods, a proposed scheme in the early 1960s by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led by L. O. Lemonser, to conduct false flag operations as a pretext for invading Cuba and waging war with the Soviet Union. The plan included hijacking jets by remote control, crashing them, and blaming Cuba, along with numerous other terrorist attacks to be carried out under the document. One scenario proposed the destruction of a US naval vessel to be blamed on a foreign power as a pretext for war with an agreed enemy. The narrative then shifts to 1967, when President Lyndon Baines Johnson allegedly operationalized Northwoods during the Six Day War. During that conflict, the USS Liberty, a clearly marked US intelligence ship, was sent by Johnson to collect electronic intelligence in the Eastern Mediterranean, approximately 14 miles off the coast of Israel in international waters. Speaker 1 describes the attack on the USS Liberty: three torpedo boats approached from the starboard quarter at high speed in an apparent torpedo launch attitude. Israeli surveillance aircraft flew low over the ship, clearly identifying it as American. At 2 PM that afternoon, the USS Liberty was attacked by three Mirage III fighter-bombers. The Mirages jammed US signals, and were unmarked, the only unmarked aircraft in Israel's arsenal. The fighter-bombers strafed the ship with their cannons, dropped conventional munitions and napalm from bow to stern. After the Mirages, the ship was hit by a medium bomber, Desalit? miseries, carrying napalm and other munitions such as white phosphorus. The USS Liberty was then attacked by three Israeli torpedo boats bearing Israeli flags. The torpedo gunboats opened fire with high-caliber machine guns and launched torpedoes. A single torpedo struck the ship, creating a 30-foot exit hole on both sides. The torpedo boats then strafed life rafts in the water in international waters. Throughout the engagement, the USS Liberty repeatedly called the Sixth Fleet nearby for air support or rescue. Two aircraft carriers and the Mediterranean fleet responded, but they were recalled by the White House. Rear Admiral Geist, commanding the carriers in the Sixth Fleet, called Washington to confirm the recall. Secretary of Defense McNamara came on the line, and then President Johnson allegedly told Geist, “I want that goddamn ship going to the bottom. No help. Recall the wings.” The report asserts that American forces were told to stand down despite the attack. A Russian spy ship reportedly witnessed part of the attack. After three hours, the Israelis withdrew, allowing the damaged USS Liberty to limp to safety. The narrator cites interviews with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moore, other admirals, and the head JAG officer of the Navy who allegedly was ordered to falsify reports and cover up what happened. An Israeli pilot is said to have publicly stated that he refused three times, over radio, to attack the ship, noting it was an American ship in international waters, but he was ordered to engage under threat of court-martial. The summary concludes with the claim that Johnson had personal control over the operation, positioning the ship in the Mediterranean and making a backroom deal with Israel to attack it and blame Egypt, aiming to draw the US into war and take over the Middle East. The captain and crew were allegedly told they would face life in prison or death if they disclosed what happened. Captain William L. McGonagall is said to have received the Congressional Medal of Honor in secret and was instructed not to reveal it.

The speakers claim the attack on their ship was not an accident, but a planned military operation by the Israelis. They assert the Israelis conducted reconnaissance missions beforehand, taking photographs to identify targets. According to the speakers, the attackers aimed to disable communication, sink the ship, and eliminate survivors. They say the aircraft were sent to make them incommunicado, torpedo boats to sink the ship, and helicopters to kill survivors. The speakers state the ship was clearly marked as American with flags and markings, and a pilot was recorded identifying it as such. They believe the attackers knew exactly what to hit, targeting specific personnel and using shrapnel to inflict maximum casualties.

In the exchange, the interviewer raises the question of why Ben labeled the 1967 USS Liberty attack as irrelevant to current Israeli-American relations, given that dozens of American servicemen were killed or wounded. Ben responds that focusing on a mistaken attack from 1967, and using it to define today’s Israel-U.S. relations, is irrelevant in the context of modern relations—comparing it to citing World War II or 1776 to define present ties with Britain or Germany. He acknowledges the attack was horrible and tragic for those involved, notes that the Israeli government paid reparations, and asserts that the actual naval record shows it was a mistaken attack. The interviewer presses for accountability, noting that the American flag was flying on the USS Liberty, which would seem to preclude misidentification. Ben reiterates the broader context: people who cite the Liberty often are not discussing the specifics of the incident, but are using it to suggest that Israel deliberately attacked an American ship to harm the United States. He questions whether that is the interviewer’s point and emphasizes a broader agenda. The interviewer insists on accountability and asks why the incident should be irrelevant to today’s relations. Ben maintains that the issue is not central to assessing current U.S.-Israel relations, arguing that the attack should be considered within its own time, and that today’s relations are shaped by a wide range of factors. He notes that there were multiple naval investigations, and that the Navy records show the Liberty was off its usual path, and that at the time, Israeli forces mistook it for an Egyptian ship while Mirage aircraft were deployed by the Israeli military. In the initial attack, the American flag was knocked down, and the assault continued for about ninety minutes; once the pilots realized it was an American ship, they reportedly called off the attack and sent a ship to assist the USS Liberty. The interviewer acknowledges that there have been various incidents and persistent concerns, but maintains that the question concerns American interests. Ben maintains his position that the broader agenda is central to the line of questioning, and questions the relevance of a six-decade-old attack as the number one issue in assessing current U.S.-Israel relations. The interviewer suggests that the audience includes people alive at the time, implying lasting relevance, while Ben calls for focusing on current relations rather than an old incident, noting the existence of a wide variety of historical contexts in 1967. The conversation ends with Ben indicating he will move to another point, signaling the interviewer is not addressing his core question.

The speaker expresses concerns about American aircraft carriers, referencing the USS Liberty and the Israeli government. They mention “allegedly, the Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft… they did end up paying out the American government.” The speaker worries about a false flag operation: “a missile comes out of Gaza… hits one of our aircraft carriers, but it was actually Israeli missile.” They say, “we should get out of there.” In response, they remark, “It doesn’t matter where the missile comes from,” and then react, “that’s weird, Holy shit.”

The speaker states that the attack on Liberty was not a pure case of mistaken identity and was not pure error. They argue that it’s time for the state of Israel and the United States government to provide the crew members of the Liberty and the American people with the facts of what happened and why it came about that the Liberty was their child thirty years ago to ready.

I served on the USS Liberty in 1967 when it was attacked by Israeli forces. 34 crewmen died, 171 were wounded. I believe the attack was planned, not accidental. The Israelis strafed us with jets and torpedo boats. Our ship had 50 caliber machine guns, but many men were killed. The torpedo hit the communication spaces. I think Israel and our government knew about the attack. I remember the fallen crewmen every Memorial Day.
